ABOUT THE JAG

JAG is an arcade-puzzle 2D game like KDiamonds which runs on Linux and Windows. 
JAG was created using only free development software and free resources 
such as images, sounds and music. 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUPPORTED PLATFORMS

Since JAG is based on Qt4/SDL frameworks, all the platforms supported by them 
should be able to build and launch the game.

In particular:
- MS Windows 7, Vista, XP
- All Linux OS

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INSTALLATION

Windows (all platforms):

  Just run installer named jag-0.1.0-setup.exe.
  By default, JAG will be installed into <Program Files>/XlabSoft/JAG folder.
  Installer will put executable (jag.exe) and libraries (*.dll) 
  into /bin subfolder, while /data subfolder will contain all the game data.
  
  Installer will also create an entry in the Programs menu (as well as on the
  desktop by default), so to launch JAG, it is only needed to click on 
  its icon.
  
  
Linux/Unix

  There are several ways to install JAG, depending of the target platform.
  You can either build it from sources or install the appropriate binary package.
  
  1. Downloading correct archives
  
  JAG is divided onto several parts:
  - jag-bin		(precompiled binaries)			required for binary installation
  - jag-data	(game resources or levels)		required
  - jag-music	(additional music)				optional
  - jag-src		(game sources)					optional
  
  First, download binary or source archive and extract it into temporary location.
  There should be folder jag and appropriate subfolders.
  
  Second, download data archive and exract in the same place.
  
  Music package is optional to download.
  
  So you should get the following directory layout in the temp directory:
  
  [TEMP]
	|----jag
		|----bin			
		|----data
			|----music		(only if music archive downloaded)
	    |----src			(only if sources archive downloaded)
			
  2. Building from sources

  First, you have to make sure that you have Qt 4 development package installed.
  Current version has been tested with Qt 4.3-4.5.
  Also you need xrandr, SDL and SDL_mixer development libraries. 
  Use your package manager in order to install these packages 
  (YAST, Synaptic, Adept, Apt-get etc).
  
  Then go into jag/src directory and execute commands:
    qmake
    make
	sudo make install

  After this, root password will be asked and installation starts.

  If everything was ok, JAG will be installed into /usr/local/bin directory, and
  game data will come to /usr/local/games/jag.
  
  To launch it, just type:
    jag
